André Leon Talley Writes of Cold Betrayal by Anna Wintour


Former Vogue-editor-at-large André Leon Talley explains the cruel way Anna Wintour cut him out of her life...
 
The 70-year-old fashionista has written a memoir about his life and broken friendship with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, the women who launched his fashion career.

In an excerpt from his book Talley explains how he found out he was no longer in the inner circle.

From The Daily Mail
In the Spring of 2018 Talley was expecting to prepare for his red carpet interviews for the Met Gala but nobody from Vogue had contacted him.
When Talley called he was told such things were 'beneath' him but he saw it for what it was - a not so subtle signal to leave.
He writes: 'This was clearly a stone-cold business decision. I had suddenly become too old, too overweight, too uncool, I imagined, for Anna Wintour.
'After decades of loyalty and friendships...Anna should have had the decency and kindness to call me or send me an email saying: 'Andre, I think we have had a wonderful run with your interviews but we are going to try something new'.
'I would have accepted that...I understand; nothing lasts forever. Simple human kindness. No, she is not capable'.
